A driveway that is 25 m long is built on an incline. It has risen a distance of 4 m by the time it reaches from one end to the other. What is the angle of elevation of the driveway?

Answer:
9.1°
Step-by-step explanation:
The tangent of the angle is the ratio of rise to run, so the angle is ...
angle = arctan(rise/run) = arctan(4/25)
angle ≈ 9.1°
_____
Comment on the angle
Except in certain mountainous regions, the maximum grade of an interstate highway is limited to 6% (3.4°). The grade of this driveway is 16%, which would be considered very steep.
